MBB: 2015-16 Big Ten opponents announced

The Big Ten Conference announced the double and single-play opponents for the 2015-16 men’s basketball season Thursday afternoon.

With 14 teams and an 18-game schedule, schools play five teams home-and-home and face the other eight teams on a single-play basis. The 2015-16 season is the second of a three-year rotation where each school will play all 13 teams a minimum of four times (one single-play home, one single-play away and one home-and-home). In addition, no team can have the same opponent as a home-and-home series in consecutive seasons.
